High/low: Colourful playroom

Kids' gallery

Create a rotating gallery on your wall to showcase your kids' artistic side. Here are three examples: 1 Pin it: Secure a strip of cork to a piece of wood and use push-pins to put up paintings, drawings and doodles. Hang bulldog clips from a few random push-pins to vary the look. 2 String it: Fasten a durable, colourful string to either end of a wooden rail with eye hooks and use clothespins to secure the art. 3 Clip it: Use a hot glue gun to attach clothespins to a wooden rail equidistant apart and clip in your favourite pieces.

Chalkboard wall

Kids, step away from that television set and sit yourselves in front of a chalkboard, canvas or paper instead. Parents, reward their efforts and nurture their creativity by creating a gallery wall out of the results. Watch the young artists beam with pride, showing their work off to friends and relatives (maybe Grandma will even buy a piece or two).

Pitch a tent

Revisit your old fort-making days but this time with fabric, tools and know-how rather than the comforter, sofa cushions and imagination you used as a kid. We found the high version pre-made on Etsy but made the low one ourselves with some crafting savvy in just a few simple steps. See how to make it here.
